Training and continuing professional development (CPD) 

At The Occupational Therapy Service, we are committed to fostering excellence in occupational therapy by providing high-quality training via Qualifications, accredited courses and bespoke courses whilst continuing professional development (CPD).

Deborah Harrison Moving and Handling training for professionals

With a programme led by one of the UK’s leading expert in Moving and Handling, we deliver specialist educational sessions which empower professionals responsible for moving and handling assessment and training.  

Every qualification, accredited and bespoke course is built on research and has a robust evidence-base delivered by experienced clinicians who have successfully implemented these principles within real organisations. Delegates will be challenged to solve real complex clinical case studies, ensuring they leave with the practical skills the need to improve support and implement the High Impact Change Model for Optimal-Handed Care. 

We also offer a range of Moving and Handling courses that are suitable to meet every need; from a care-giver to clinician.

“The Foundations UK DFG Trusted Assessor training delivered by The Occupational Therapy Service has been informative, relaxed and easy to follow. I’ve enjoyed the open discussions. Previously, I could only shadow housing occupational therapists; this qualification will enable me to assess people independently in their homes. It’s genuinely worthwhile training.”

Hannah Horne, DFG Officer

“The course has been informative with practical learning and knowledge sharing from OT Emma that’s relevant to today’s accessible housing challenges. As an adaptations surveyor, it will empower me to make better decisions and interpret assessments more clearly. I think this training is essential for professionals wanting to do more within their role in adapted housing.”

Richard Johnson, Adaptation Surveyor

“The courses from The Occupational Therapy Service has been invaluable in helping me connect product, environment and individual need. As someone working for AKW, understanding how our equipment should be assessed and used is essential. This Foundations UK training helps us maximise available funding and deliver the right solutions for the people using them.”

Andy Woore, AKW
